The Mesopotamian Civilisation on the banks of river Euphrates and Tigris in modern Iraq. The Chinese Civilisation in the valley of Hwang Ho and Yangtze rivers. The Egyptian Civilisation on the banks of Nile river in Egypt. The Indus Valley Civilisation is best known as the Harappan Civilisation. It is called the Harappan Civilisation because the Harappan site was the first to be discovered in 1921 at the modern site of Harappa situated in the province of West Punjab in Pakistan. Mohenjodaro was discovered in 1922 ; both lie in the Indus Valley region. The Great Bath is one of the largest public buildings at Mohenjodaro. It has a large rectangular tank in a courtyard surrounded by a corridor on all four sides. The raised area of each city was called the citadel. It owed its height to the buildings constructed on mud brick platlforms. The citadel had the houses of the ruling class and important buildings. The seals used by the Harappans show their artistic skills. Seals of Pashupati show that people believed in Shiva. The unicorn seal shows their mythical beliefs. The stone sculpture of a man with a beard was discovered from Mohenjodaro. This sculpture is of high artistic value and points to the existence of skilled artisans in the Harappan Civilisation. The bronze statue of a dancing girl, found at Mohenjodaro is a master piece of art and it shows a high degree of development in the art of sculpture. A rectangular dockyard was discovered at Lothal in Gujarat. It was surrounded by a massive brick wall, probably as a protection against floods. The Harappans used a script which is regarded as pictographic since its signs represent birds, fish and varieties of the human form. The recent researches show that the urban Harappan culture was only an outgrowth of the extensive local village cultures and not of foreign origin. Some scholars believe that the Harappan Civilisation was an offshoot of the Mesopotamian Civilisation. The entire area of the Harappan Civilisation is triangular in shape and account for about 1.3 million sq-km. It extended from Sutkagendor in the west to Alamgirpur in the east and from Manda in the north to Bhagatrav in Narmeda estuary in the south. The two most important Harappan cities are Harappa in Montgomery district of Punjab and Mohenjodaro in Larkana district of Sindh. The Harappans carried on considerable trade in stone, metal, shell, etc. within the Indus Civilisation Zone. The cities like Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Lothal were important centres for metallurgy, producing tools and weapons, kitchenware and other objects for wide distribution. All the works of Harappan art, including figurines of clay and terracotta, stone and bronze sculpture, seals and beads are products of skilled craftsmen.
